As could be expected, many sites have published reactions to the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Here are some of them:
From National Review, "weep for Notre Dame".
From The Spectator, the loss is "too much to bear".
From Townhall, the Notre Dame disaster is "an omen".

From American Thinker, "mourning Notre Dame".
From the Daily Mail, several important items were rescued. (via CNS News)
From the Express, a British author is suspicious about the speed at which the fire propagated.

From RFI, investigators question some of the construction workers who were renovating the cathedral.
From Deutsche Welle, one prosecutor in Paris believes that the fire was more likely accidental than deliberately set.
From the NL Times, a Dutch art historian calls the damage "unimaginable".
From Radio Poland, Poland already offers to help in the rebuilding.
From Radio Praha, Czech leaders also offer to assist.
From The Slovak Spectator, Slovak officials offer their condolences.
From the Hungary Journal, Hungary offers to contribute.
From ANSA, Italy offers to help in the rebuilding.

And from Malta Today, global pledges already add up to €300 million.
